Major Hurricane Helene

Significant -NAO patterns are good for displacing climatological patterns. This syntopic interaction and extra tropical transition is common to what is experienced in the northeast; unusual in the southeast…

And currently the -NAO is by far the strongest on record for September at below -2.7! The -NAO peak is today and tomorrow.

Yeah, call me skeptical. Never seen a TC that didn’t begin weakening rapidly upon LF.

Even Hugo moving at 25 was a 75-80 mph storm when it got to Charlotte so yeah, likely just a strong TS by the time it got to like ATL or near there but thats still bad with saturated ground.

I am confused with the systems organization today. That naked swirl is definitely the COC recon found but there is no reason why is should be going south. It doesn’t appear to be part of a larger cyclonic gyre but I guess that is the only explanation 

Both things can be true:  that is the COC and it’s still embedded within the larger gyre.  I think this will stall for a bit then start creeping north before again turning wnw later today

What a mess. Lol. LLC running away from convection. Shear definitely still impacting Helene. I'm beginning to think it may not get its act together until the Gulf. 

The band also still looking linear, and shows no sign of trying to bend or wrap around the center

The HAFS B comes in near the NHC track but its very weak, HMON appears it'll come in east of NHC track but way stronger

Global models have been in the 960s through 980s with the landfall pressure.. HAFS-B is pretty much in line with that this run.

12Z Euro is stronger at landfall than recent runs with 976 Thu evening Apalachee Bay. It gets to ATL just 8 hours later and weakens only to 981, which would be flirting with all-time record low SLP there.

I am expecting an over-performer (RI) and possibly cat-4 by 26-27 N (landfall 29N cat-3). East-west wobble factor (0.2-0.3 deg) is likely to play as max east displacements midnite, and max west mid-day, given moon's present orbital position. Strong n max declination peak at present will decrease over 3 days, it does add tidal range to coming period between F and new.

Ah good 'ole Rog'...always playing it close to the vest-

Helene is building, but I guess I'm honestly not impressed yet. I want to see a definitive, well formed low level center and get a handle on any possible Yucatan interaction. It doesn't have as much time as others to organize, so the longer it takes, the better for Florida.

Given the sheer size...surge will be lethal, but max winds may not ramp up as quickly as some pine for.

Helene currently has an interesting presentation.  It has a well-defined center.  There is convection up-shear, down-shear, and everywhere else, except near the center.

Basically nothing that will help it strengthen in the near term. Until convection pops over the center Helene going to be steady state or possibly weaken with exposed center.
